Definitions
- the subject matter disclosed herein relates generally to the art of filter cartridges and, more particularly, to a coreless filter cartridge.
- Various processes employ filters to remove particulate from a fluid stream.
- pleats are formed in a filtration media to enhance an overall surface area of the filters.
- a particulate laden fluid is passed in one direction through the filtration media.
- the filtration media is configured to trap the particulate yet allow the fluid stream to pass through. In this manner, particulate of a desired size range is removed from the fluid stream.
- One method of cleaning the filtration media is to guide pulses of cleaning fluid through the filter in an opposite direction.
- the pulses of cleaning fluid urge the particulate from the filtration media thereby renewing the filter.
- Such filters are called "pulse pleat" filters.
- Existing pulse pleat filters employ an internal core that provides support to the filtration media during the fluid flow in the one direction and external straps that limit excessive movement of the filtration media during exposure to the cleaning fluid pulses.
- a coreless filter cartridge includes a filtration media having a plurality of pleats formed in a tubular configuration.
- the filtration media includes a first end that extends to a second end through an intermediate portion having an exterior surface and an interior surface that defines a hollow core.
- At least one retention device is adhered to the exterior surface of the filtration media.
- the at least one retention device is configured and disposed to limit radial movement of the filtration media.
- the filter cartridge is devoid of an internal core support provided within the hollow core thereby establishing a coreless filter cartridge.
- a method of forming a coreless filter cartridge includes positioning a filtration media having a plurality of pleats upon a support tube, wrapping the filtration media about the support tube to form a filter tube having hollow core, binding the filtration media with at least one retention device, adhering the at least one retention device to the plurality of pleats, and removing the support tube from the hollow core to form a filter cartridge devoid of an internal support core.
- a collector for removing pollutants from a fluid stream is indicated generally at 2 in FIG. 1 .
- Collector 2 includes a housing 4 having a plenum 6 that is fluidly connected to a fluid supply system 8 by a duct 10.
- a tube sheet 15 is mounted within plenum 6.
- Tube sheet 15 supports a plurality of coreless filter cartridges, one of which is indicated at 20.
- Coreless filter cartridge 20 removes particulate entrained in a pollutant laden fluid stream flowing in one direction into plenum 6 from fluid supply system 8.
- the term "pollutant laden fluid stream" should be understood to include a dry air stream as well as other forms of fluids including dry fluids and liquid laden fluids.
- Collector 2 is employed as part of an air pollution control system (not shown).
- Coreless filter cartridge 20 is a "pulse pleat" type of filter cartridge that is periodically subjected to a pulsed cleaning fluid moving in a direction opposite to the direction of flow of the pollutant laden fluid stream. Over an operational life that may last about two years or more, coreless filter cartridge may be subjected up to 300,000 cleaning pulses per year.
- filter cartridge 20 includes a filtration media 24 that is formed in a generally tubular or cylindrical configuration as will be discussed more fully below.
- Filtration media 24 includes a plurality of pleats 26 that increase an overall surface area of filter cartridge 20 to enhance removal of particles from the pollutant laden fluid flow.
- Pleats 26 are circumferentially spaced about a circumference (not separately labeled) of filter cartridge 20.
- Each pleat includes a tip portion indicated generally at 27 and adjacent recessed regions 28 and 29.
- Coreless filter cartridge 20 includes a first end 30 that extends to a second end 31 through an intermediate portion 33.
- Intermediate portion 33 includes an exterior surface 36 and an interior surface 37 that defines a hollow core 40.
- hollow core 40 is devoid of any internal support thereby establishing filter cartridge 20 as being coreless.
- Coreless filter cartridge 20 includes a mounting member 44 provided at first end 30. Mounting member 44 serves as an interface between coreless filter cartridge 20 and tube sheet 15. An end cap 48 is provided at second end 31. End cap 48 closes off second end 31 forcing the pollutant laded fluid to pass through filtration media 24.
- coreless filter cartridge 20 includes a plurality of retention devices 58-63 formed from a hard plastic such as Hytrel® manufactured by Dupont. Of course various other polymers can also be employed. Retention devices 56-63 extend circumferentially about exterior surface 36. As will be detailed more fully below, retention devices 58-63 are shown in the form of circular straps that prevent axial expansion and collapse of filtration media 24 during operation.
- Retention devices 58-63 include an external surface 70 and an internal surface 71 such as shown in connection with retention device 58 in FIG. 4 .
- Internal surface 71 is adhered to each tip portion 27 of the plurality of pleats 26.
- Internal surface 71 is also provided with a plurality of projections such as shown at 73 that extend into adjacent recessed regions 28, 29 and are bonded to side portions (not separately labeled) of the plurality of pleats 26.
- filtration media 24 is formed from a material configured to withstand collapse pressure of between about 2 to about 8 inches in water column (about 5.07 to about 20.31 centimeters of water [4°C]), and as much as 21 inches in water column [53.33 centimeters of water [4°C]) or more depending upon the particular material employed for filtration media 24.
- filtration media 24 is formed from a spunbond polyester media having a calendered finish, a basis weight of between about 6.5 and about 9.5 oz/sq. yd. (about 219.3 to about 320.6 g/sq.
- filtration media 24 is formed from woven synthetic such as woven acrylic and/or woven polypropylene.
- filtration media 24 is formed from a non-woven synthetic such as non-woven acrylic and/or non-woven polypropylene.
- filtration media 24 is formed from a laminated expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) material.
- Fixture 90 includes a support tube 92 having mounted thereto a plurality of expansion disks, one of which is indicated at 94 and an end cap 96.
- the plurality of expansion disks 94 are aligned one with another and end cap 96 by a plurality of alignment rods, one of which is indicated at 98.
- end cap 96 is provided with an adjustment knob 100 that selectively controls an outer diametric size of the plurality of expansion disks.
- adjustment knob 100 is operated to expand expansion disks 94.
- a mandrel 104 is arranged within fixture 90 and the plurality or retention devices are applied.
- An extruder 110 delivers the hard plastic material from a hopper 112 to a dispensing nozzle 116. As the material leaves dispensing nozzle 116, fixture 90 is rotated about a longitudinal axis and a compressive force is applied to filter tube 91 by a compression roller 120. The hard plastic material flows into recessed regions 28 and 29 and bonds with both tip portions 27 and side portions (not separately labeled) of the plurality of pleats 26.
- extruder 110 stops the flow of material and the retention device is formed. After forming any remaining retention devices, adjustment knob 100 is operated to retract expansion disks 94 allowing fixture 90 to be removed from coreless filter cartridge 20.
- Coreless filter cartridge 150 includes a filtration media 154 that is formed in a generally tubular or cylindrical configuration in a manner similar to that described above.
- Filtration media 154 includes a plurality of pleats 156 that increase an overall surface area of filter cartridge 150 to enhance removal of particles from the pollutant laden fluid flow.
- Pleats 156 are circumferentially spaced about a circumference (not separately labeled) of filter cartridge 150.
- Coreless filter cartridge 150 includes a first end 160 that extends to a second end 161 through an intermediate portion 163.
- Intermediate portion 163 includes an exterior surface 166 and an interior surface 167 that defines a hollow core 170.
- hollow core 170 is not provided with any internal support thereby establishing filter cartridge 150 as being coreless.
- Coreless filter cartridge 150 includes a mounting member 174 provided at first end 160.
- Mounting member 174 serves as an interface between coreless filter cartridge 150 and tube sheet 15.
- An end cap 178 is provided at second end 161. End cap 178 closes off second end 161 forcing the pollutant laded fluid to pass through filtration media 154.
- coreless filter cartridge 150 includes a single retention device 188.
- Retention device 188 extends along a helical path over filtration media 154 from first end 160 to second end 161. That is, instead of simply rotating filter cartridge 150 about a longitudinal axis when applying retention devices, in accordance with the exemplary aspect shown, filter cartridge 150 also translates along the longitudinal axis. In this manner, retention device 188 is applied as a helical strap.
- Retention device 200 includes a body 204 having an outer surface 206 and an inner surface 208 that defines an annular ring or band 210.
- Body 204 is formed from a rigid material such as metal, molded plastic and the like.
- Retention device 200 is fitted over the plurality of pleats 24 of filter cartridge 20.
- Retention device 200 is secured to the plurality of pleats 24 with an adhesive 220.
- adhesive 220 is a hot melt adhesive that not only adheres to inner surface 208 to tip portions 27 of the plurality of pleats 26 but also flows into recessed regions 27, 28 to bond with side portions of the plurality of pleats 26. In this manner, retention device 200 not only prevents expansion of the plurality of pleats 26 during a back flow purge, but also prevents collapse during normal filtration thereby eliminating the need for an internal core.
- band 210 is pre-formed prior to being installed onto filter cartridge 20.
- band 210 is applied as a strip of rigid material that is wrapped about filter cartridge 20. End portions of the strip of rigid material are then joined to form band 210.
- the exemplary embodiments provides a coreless filter cartridge for a pollutant removal system.
- the filter cartridge Despite the lack of an internal core, the filter cartridge not only resists collapse resulting from pulsed cleaning but also resists axial expansion during operation.
- manufacturing and material costs are reduced.
- the reduction in manufacturing and materials costs allows manufacturers to offer the coreless filter cartridge at a reduced price.
- the reduced price opens consumer markets previously unavailable to manufacturers of filter cartridges that include cores.
- the filter cartridge in accordance with the exemplary embodiment also provides various performance benefits that lead to a reduction in operating costs of the filtration system.
